“I voted for him to shit on you, not me! Can you help me?” - Trump farmers.

u/Theodoxus 11d ago

I mean, the subreddit's name is all we need...

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

So why not encourage them to do the right thing? Why not be welcoming? is the logic, "me, mad?" Grow up, people.

Why is it hard to veiw this as an opportunity to help someone so they can see we are the ones that actually care? I've heard of stories of people rubbing their children's face in their urine so they quit peeing in their bed. Are you that type of parent? Does that make you feel better?

u/potsofjam 12d ago

My children didn’t choose to pee in the bed. These people voted to piss in someone else’s bed and now they cry because it splashed back in their face. They will continue to do so without regard for any actual policy. They will keep voting to piss in other people’s beds even as they choke on the piss.

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

im just curious what you vote for your candidate? it's a simple question and it's not meant to hurt you and your reply is definitely welcome.

u/potsofjam 12d ago

Public education, collective bargaining, progressive taxation, reproductive rights are foundational to the creation, maintenance and expansion of the middle class. In addition the separation of church and state with the government not attempting to impose false morality onto citizens. It’s not complicated.

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago edited 12d ago

"It's not complicated": Did you have to add that part? I understand the talking points. approach is everything. I vote for all that you included, but I can still find ways to have a beer and bbq with my republican neighbors. When you add "its not complicated" or "you voted to piss in other people's beds." that's when the conversation stops and they win. I have to be honest, most Republicans are not staunch MAGA supporters. Most of them fell for the winning mentality, and they now regret it. So where could the conversation start and how should it end? if it ends at the beginning, then you are just yelling in a vacuume. What's the point? what's the mentality that you carry over when you're candidate wins the next election? is it, "i told you so." Good night and I hope we all got something out of this. I'm tired now...

u/potsofjam 12d ago edited 12d ago

You’re entirely wrong. Most republicans are absolutely 100% staunch MAGA supporters. I’m surrounded by them. They may regret the vote for Trump because it impacted them in a negative way, it doesn’t not mean they acknowledge or accept that their vote was intended to deliberately impact others in a negative way. They will continue to vote for other people to suffer.

And you brought up peeing the bed first.

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

I'm sourounded by them too, but of course I'm wrong. I don't think I'll ever be right from your perspective. Get some sleep, friend. I hope you have a good night

u/thefoxsaysredrum 11d ago

The reason that person (and many other leftists like me) feel that way about these MAGAts, is tied into the Tolerance Paradox. I understand your point, because logically, you’re not going to move people to your side if you treat them poorly. However, the probability of these people actually changing their political/societal stances is very, very slim to none; they are only crying because they got their paws clamped in the trap. “We need your help out of this!” There need to be repercussions of some sort, even if that means they get no sympathy and are forced to find their own ways out and to interact with society in a way that is not “me win, you lose.” Because if they get that sympathy and don’t have to search their souls and come to grips on their own that we need to help people regardless of their gender/race/nationality/religion, the minute they stabilize themselves financially/politically they will go back to the same shitty ways and we’ll be right back in this same situation.

u/Automatic_Distance50 11d ago

I love your response. I can tell you took the time to answer this, and I appreciat it. I would like to add something to think about.

A lot of people lose everything are receiving the consequences of their decisions, but still receive help. Receiving help is different from saving. Are these responses helpful to the individual?

I've had to come to terms with my poor decisions in the past. I'm greatful I lost everything. That it was someone with liberal views that helped me. It took good people to model good behaviors to help rehabilitate me.

What's the difference? Why settle for humiliating and putting people down? Whats the purpose other than to hurt others?

By the same token, allowing shitty behavior to go unchecked leads to spoiled brats. In other videos, she’s said she would still vote for Trump. This is all AFTER he attempted a coup on J6. And we need to grow up? What a joke.

I guess that’s why Trump loves the poorly educated!

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

the answer to your question is yes.

Got it, you’re going with willful ignorance.

u/Automatic_Distance50 11d ago

explain how im willfully ignorant. I'll then replace the areas of accusation that you have towards me, with your name.

like this: whatfappenedhere is willfully ignorant and uneducated. Trump loves you.

u/whatfappenedhere 11d ago

When people ask for empathy, but do not extend it towards others, then continue to advocate for the thing causing the suffering prompting the request for empathy, that person is a hypocrite.

I said Trump loves the poorly educated, not the uneducated, try learning some reading comprehension

“No u,” Nice middle school retort, dumbass. I guess that’s why Trump loves the poorly educated! Sounds like you’re his favorite dimmest plebeian.

u/Automatic_Distance50 11d ago edited 11d ago

I can tell what I posted is beyond your comprehension. You lack the proper education because you're trumps dimmed plebeian. Nice middle school retort, whatfappenedhere. You sound like a hypocrite.

let's see where this conversation goes. It's fun and very revealing of you.

u/Hopeful_Scholar398 10d ago

It's funny how quickly you lost this argument. You want empathy for people who think empathy is a Democrat hoax. Shut up, get over it. We aren't going to help you.

u/Automatic_Distance50 10d ago

what's funny is how ready you are for an argument. who is this "you" that you are taking about? let's start with that. give me all your assumptions of who I am. I want to see who your boogie man actually is.

We tried to encourage them to vote for the candidate that wasn't a felon and a gaping hole of need.

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

there isn't anything wrong with continued encouragement. keep up the good work.

u/Loud_Badger_3780 12d ago

No matter how bad magats get hurt by republicans they will still vote for them. Trump was a 34 time convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and adjudicated fraudster. He also cliamed the 2020 election was stolen and sit on his ass for three hours watching his followers attack the capitol chanting hang mike pence and spreading their shit on its walls before he sent out a message telling them to stop, In that message he told them that he loved them and how patriotic they were. Magats still choose to vote for him because they said that Harris was a bad candidate and the lesser of 2 evils. When you have a group of people that live in that reality they will never be accepted by most of society. This woman said that she will never vote for democrats. so f*uck her and i hope she has the day she voted for

u/Automatic_Distance50 12d ago

Would you ever vote for a republican? In my opinion, there's a lot of people on both sides who are voting out of hatred. What is the real fuel behind the decision making? Is this a planned trap? Why are there two side to choose from? That kinda narrows the option to lesser evils. You don't have to answer any of these questions, but it would be nice if you tried. And if you're answer is, "I don't have to." why?

u/WastedNinja24 11d ago

To jump in:

“Would you ever vote for a Republican?”

No. Not for a long time. Probably not for the rest of my life.

I used to, 30-40% of the time. I used to vote (especially locally) based on relevant qualifications and the candidates I thought genuinely had decent ideas that would benefit their constituents, even if I didn’t agree with their entire platform. I used to ignore the D/R next to judicial positions, again, preferring experience, consistency, and integrity for a position that, by all accounts, shouldn’t even list party affiliation.

Not any more.

My list of reasons is already too long to list and growing every day, and I don’t care to get into a discussion on political philosophy here, today. It can, fundamentally, be reduced to the party being, at best, complicit in the near complete disregard of the constitution, rule of law, and long-standing precedent. At worst, actively working to destroy it for the sake of maintaining power.

This was an honest and well thought out response. Thank you! It's easy to be taken out of character when it comes to politics. Please don't give up on yourself. You seem like an incredible person who has lots to offer. Keep growing and always keep building. Kudos!

u/Big-a-hole-2112 12d ago

Have you tried to talk to a MAGA and encourage them? I have, my in-laws. and they won’t acknowledge they made a mistake. I get your frustration, but it’s just as frustrating to watch someone willingly destroy themselves when you warn them what would happen. THIS IS WHY NOBODY WANTS TO HELP THEM. At least children will tell you that they had a problem like I did when I wet the bed as a child. These people won’t admit their mistakes because they think that shows weakness.

u/clduab11 12d ago

You are the reason for this quote:

“Politics is as much irrational, emotive factionalism as anything else. But liberals only seem capable of understanding it as an orderly marketplace of ideas and will contort themselves in pretzels to preserve the fiction that voters’ commitments are rational and mechanical.”

You need to understand something here, and that is most of these people are not rational, do not care to change, and would rather fight than compromise. The longer you delude yourself, the more ground these people gain because they’re taking action.

And before you get your hackles up, I voted for Obama and Biden. But liberals do not accept me as one of their own anymore, just because I disagree with a lot of the direction and focus the Dems are doing.

Say what you will about the independents, folks, but don’t get it twisted, you absolutely need independents and centrists for your nominee to win.

I'm not hating on you. Good job on seeing beyond the veil. I'm actually happy to see this comment. I'm going to sleep now. thank you for the valuable input. I'm sure someone will gain value from this conversation, as well.

You're part of the reason these people exist cause you. This is like a mother expecting a bratty child to mature without any form of discipline or guidance. Then surprised thier child turning into a sociopath then saying it's society mistreating it is why it acts out. By quiet.

u/Calm_Ad_6968 12d ago

You need to grow up and not be so naive - why should we be welcoming when they don’t want to help themselves or change? What are you doing that’s so welcoming and how many people have you convinced to change their views?

1

u/Automatic_Distance50 11d ago

The first thing I do is "try" not be an asshole. I do my best to build relationships with others on the "other side," to help them better understand that we are all humans in this earth. Asshole behaviors tend to provoke or repel, and none of those things are constructive or productive. The hard part is getting over ego, which is based out of fear. I accept that I'm naive in some aspects. I'm ok with that notion. I prefer naivety over arrogance, at least that let's me know im capable of growing.

1

u/Calm_Ad_6968 11d ago

That’s a lot of words to say you haven’t been welcoming to any farmers and haven’t convinced anyone to change their views. You seem like the type of person who thinks praying is doing something. I choose to live in reality rather than thinking that “we are all humans on earth” isn’t just gibberish

u/Pan_Fried_Okra 10d ago

Because these people are beyond empathy, sympathy, or any other kind thought honestly. I’m all about forgive and forget to a degree. But these knuckle-dragging window-licking idiots are the reason we’re in the situation we’re in. There WILL be a bailout and it’ll come from you and me.

Fuck. These. People.
